Structure and Composition

1 dose contains salbutamol aerosol 100 mcg; aluminum cylinder 200 c-dose inhalation device, in a plastic case 1 cylinder.

pharmachologic effect

bronchodilatory.

It stimulates the beta 2-adrenergic receptors.

pharmacodynamics

Excited beta2-adrenergic receptors in the bronchi, myometrium, blood vessels (when inhaled - mainly in the bronchi). It possesses strong bronchodilator effect of: relieves and prevents spasm of the bronchi, decreases resistance in the airways, increasing lung capacity. At the same time causes a decrease in the release of histamine, slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis and other biologically active substances from mast cells.

Indications of Salamol

Relief and prevention of asthma attacks; bronchitis, emphysema, and other diseases associated with bronchospastic syndrome.

Contraindications

Pregnancy and breast-feeding

Side effects

Paradoxical bronchospasm, angioedema, low blood pressure (when using high doses), headache, restlessness, anxiety; muscle tremors.

Interaction

Theophylline increases the risk of tachycardia and arrhythmia, particularly supraventricular arrhythmia.

Dosing and Administration

Inhalation, adults and children over 2 years of age for the prevention and relief of bronchospasm attacks - 100-200 g (1-2 inhalation).

Overdose

Symptoms: tachycardia, weakness, low blood pressure, muscle tremors.

Treatment: selective beta1-blockers (to avoid their introduction in high doses, as in individuals with hypersensitivity may cause bronchoconstriction).

Precautionary measures

Be wary appoint patients with heart disease, hypertension, diabetes.

In a cool, dark place (do not freeze).

Keep out of the reach of children.
